The Planet Thieves is the first
thrilling installment of a middle-grade series by Dan Krokos.

Two weeks ago, thirteen-year-old Mason Stark and
seventeen of his fellow cadets from the Academy for Earth Space Command boarded
the SS Egypt. The trip was supposed to be a short routine voyage to
log their required space time for summer quarter.

But routine goes out the airlock when they’re attacked by
the Tremist, an alien race who have been at war with humanity for the last
sixty years.

With the captain and crew dead, injured, or taken
prisoner, Mason and the cadets are all that’s left to warn the ESC. And
soon they find out exactly why the Tremist chose this ship to attack: the Egypt is
carrying a weapon that could change the war forever.

Now Mason will have to lead the cadets in a daring
assault to take back the ship, rescue the survivors, and recover the weapon—before
there isn’t a war left to fight.

Quotes & Awards

“Moves at warp speed, a riveting story with characters so finely drawn that I wonder if Dan Krokos actually is an alien.”

Eoin Colfer, New York Times bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series

“Exciting, kinetic, and very visual—my favorite kind of book, a vivid movie in the reader’s head, with some terrific special effects and characters to root for all the way. I’m dying to know what’s next for Mason and Merrin—not to mention ESC and the sinister but complex Tremist.”

Gillian Philip, writing as New York Times bestselling author Erin Hunter of the Survivor series

“Krokos launches this series with skill and purpose, immediately
placing readers in the action and never slowing down. The intriguing
concept, intense sense of adventure, and high stakes are more than
enough to let readers look past the coincidences that help drive the
story.”
